Release Notes:
--------
The best live albums create the illusion of being there, witnessing an artist in
a memorable performance. Bruce ~censored~ has recorded three previous live
recordings: Circles in the Stream (1977), Live (1990) and You Pay Your Money and
You Take Your Chance (1997), each critically acclaimed and featuring ~censored~ in
concert with a backing band. Now, the celebrated musician-activist delivers
something new: his first-ever live solo album.

Recorded last spring over a series of dates in the northeastern United States
and one in Quebec, Slice O Life is a double CD that showcases a cross-section of
~censored~Æs finest songs and some of his most dazzling guitar work. The album,
produced by longtime associate Colin Linden, also includes one new song, ôCity
is Hungry,ö three tracks recorded at sound checks on the tour and some
between-song banter that shows ~censored~ to be both a quick wit and an engaging
storyteller.

Slice O Life features such hits as ~censored~Æs controversial ôIf I Had a Rocket
Launcher,ö his classic ôLovers in a Dangerous Timeö and his breakthrough
ôWondering Where the Lions Are,ö which he rightly quips may be the only song
ever to make the Billboard chart that includes the word ôpetroglyph.ö Originally
recorded with a full band, these and other songs like ôWorld of Wondersö have
been rearranged and performed on acoustic guitarùoften with stunning results. In
particular, the polyrhythmic solo on ôRocket Launcher,ö full of complex,
cascading notes, is especially mesmerizing.

Besides the hits, the album recasts lesser-known songs such as ôWait No Moreö
and ôCelestial Horses,ö both originally featured on ~censored~Æs 2003 album YouÆve
Never Seen Everything, in a dramatic new light. The latter, full of slow,
haunting reverb, now seems like an overlooked psych-folk masterpiece, while the
former, played in a fast, bluesy drone on a Dobro guitar, takes on a compelling
urgency. Similarly on ôTibetan Side of Town,ö ~censored~Æs single guitar conveys a
full, rich accompanimentùfluid, jazzy treble notes and Big Bill Broonzy-style
droning bass notesùfor his vivid tale of sensory nights in Katmandu.

Cockburn has often cited the influence of the blues on his music, especially the
work of country-blues pioneers like Mississippi John Hurt. The blues tinge
shines through in several other performances on Slice O Life, including
Cockburn Æs gut-wrenching rendition of Blind Willie JohnsonÆs ôSoul of a Manö and
ôCity is Hungry,ö an hypnotic urban blues number in which Cockburn warns ôhear
that rumbling underground/better think twice before you go downtown.ö

Meanwhile, the sound checks and introductions to songs reveal another side of
the award-winning artist. One sound check involves ~censored~ jamming wildly on
his 12-string guitar before segueing into ôThe Trains DonÆt Go There Anymore,ö a
rare track he co-wrote in the 1960s with Ottawa poet Bill Hawkins. CockburnÆs
humor comes across in anecdotes about panhandlers who claim to know his music
and a mercenary who once offered him a summer job as a gun-runner while he was a
student at BostonÆs prestigious Berklee School of Music.

Fortunately for us, Cockburn turned down the job and stuck with music. Over 35
years, the Ottawa-born musician has recorded almost as many albums while earning
respect for his charitable and activist work. ôMy job is to try and trap the
spirit of things in the scratches of pen on paper, in the pulling of notes out
of metal,ö Cockburn said when he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of
Fame in 2001. He was also made an Officer of the Order of Canada and has been
the recipient of honorary degrees in Letters and Music from several North
American universities, including Berklee and TorontoÆs York University. His many
other awards have included the Tenco Award for Lifetime Achievement in Italy and
20 gold and platinum awards in Canada.

As a songwriter, ~censored~ is revered by fans and musicians alike. His songs have
been covered by such diverse artists as Elbow, Jimmy Buffett, Judy Collins, the
Skydiggers, Anne Murray, Third World, Chet Atkins, k.d. lang, Barenaked Ladies,
Maria Muldaur and the Grateful DeadÆs Jerry Garcia. As a guitarist, he is
considered among the worldÆs best. The New York Times called ~censored~ a
ôvirtuoso on guitar,ö while Acoustic Guitar magazine placed him in the esteemed
company of AndrΘs Segovia, Bill Frisell and Django Reinhardt. With Slice O Life,
all of CockburnÆs formidable gifts are on full display. ~ Nick Jennings
